It looked as if his servants followed his example. The Villa du Lac seemed asleep. Sylvia went across to the other window, the window overlooking the large, shady garden, and there, glancing down, she saw Count Paul.

The Indian who had driven on to Churchill could give no further information, except that he knew the colonel and his daughter had suddenly changed their minds about coming to Churchill. Perhaps they had gone to Nelson House, or York Factory or even to Le Pas. He did not know. It was with a heavy heart that Philip turned his face once more toward Lac Bain.

On reaching Lac des Allumettes on the same evening, our attention was arrested by the voices of Indians, singing on an island.
